RRR Dar Moha

Rue Dar el Bacha, T 044-386400. Lunchtimes and evenings, reservations preferable. One of the first riads to ‘go public’, the former residence of Pierre Balmain now houses a médina palace restaurant frequented by well-heeled Marrakchis and expats. Lunchtime is very pleasant in the garden. It’s an upscale eatery (despite the piped music) very worthy of attention. Try sword-fish bastilla or tarte au zeste de mandarine.
